Sometimes the most challenging part of taking on a seemingly overwhelming challenge is knowing where to start. The SBC of Virginia Church Planting Team is available to assist you in knowing the areas and people groups most in need of the Gospel. Conservative estimates place the number of people in the Commonwealth of Virginia without a saving relationship with Jesus Christ at 5.6 million. You can find concentrations of people without Christ in the hills of Appalachia, in small and mid-sized towns and cities across the state, and especially in the large cities of the eastern side of Virginia stretching from Hampton Roads north to Metropolitan Washington, DC. 

Below you will find links to resources that will help you and your church begin your prayerful search for where God is inviting you to plant a new church. For help in knowing how to use these tools, contact churchplanting@sbcv.org.
